Here is to hoping one of the worlds greatest minds pulls through...

What he has done for the world is amazing, to put it mildly.

Never like to hear news like this:

Wow. Black hole Hawkins...

 

isnt the fact of knowing you will never hear another interview with him a fair trade off for losing his mind??

he retired earlier this year anyway didnt he?

 

even the greatest minds are vulnerable.

 

My best wishes to him and his family.
He is a man I admire and I thank him for some very good reading.

If this is to be his end, I wish him as much peace as possible.

 

he is not as great as most people would like to believe

just better at PR than most other men in his field

being a crippled perv helps with that kinda thing.

 

Yah, of course the whole voice thing, but the books are interesting.

 

He's overrated.

 

People die.

 

Says a know-nothing, do-nothing random HF member...

 

Okay, okay, I didn't mean to sound naive, I know that. No need to be condescending dude.

But he is a great mind and it would be nice to see him pull through for another 5-10 years. That is what I mean.

Oh well. Just wanted to make a thread, lots of people do the same for those who have died or have died. I see no difference in this one.

 

Personal attack reported.

Shame on you. :frown:

 

He will die. Soon.

 

most of them, not soon enough

 

Indeed. Indeed.

 

Psh, what do you know? For all you know, homelessjoe could be the next great mind about to blossom. Don't assume so much.

 

All the best to him and his family

 

O I'm sorry, I didn't know that you are not ignorant in regards to my education.

Nice condradiction you posted.

 

There is no "condradiction" to be found in my post. But how is that education of yours working for you??

It is pointless to bash an intelligent mind such as Hawking, who has done more than anyone in this thread. BSR, that wasn't a personal insult on my part. Compared to Hawking, most of us haven't done shit, and that is the truth. No shame in that.

But until HJ can come up with reasons as to why he is over rated, I will stick with my word. You can't say what HJ said about a great mind such as Hawking and leave it at that. Otherwise you are just trolling and being unnecessarily arrogant. But I am open to different viewpoints. But not "He is over rated." That is BS. Well....Why?

 

so saddened at the loss of a giant
